What is Erotic? Presents: Foreplay Soiree

WHAT IS EROTIC? presents: FOREPLAY SOIREE

Friday, August 3, 2018 at The 418 Project 6:30-10PM

This year’s Foreplay Soiree is a chance for YOU to discover: What Is Erotic?

Whether you’re feeling bold or shy (or maybe a bit of both), we’ll host performances & experiences with you in mind, so you can explore your personal answer to our one provocative question: WHAT IS EROTIC?

This is a place to explore your boundaries and what you personally find erotic in a safe environment. You can play games, get tied up by a professional rope mistress, & explore how you like to give and receive sensation at the Fur & Feather Adoration Station—all with skilled, compassionate facilitators to help you. And there’s a lot more!

In this environment, there is no pressure. You are free to enjoy the party, be a wall flower and enjoy the activities as an observer, or go for it! And try something new. We will provide green/yellow/red guidelines for interaction so you always feel supported, never pushed past your limit.

On top of our playtime activities, there will be a Tantric Connection Ritual facilitated by Amy Baldwin of Pure Pleasure that you can take part in with a friend or on your own, where you can discover some activities (all fully clothed) designed to improve intimacy with yourself and others. We think intimacy is erotic!
